American Honda Motor Co., Inc., is an automaker that has succeeded in researching, developing and offering for sale in today’s marketplace the most advanced environmentally-friendly vehicles in the world. This success has resulted in American Honda being ranked in 2007 the most fuel efficient automaker in the United States with every Honda vehicle offered for sale either a low-emission or cleaner vehicle. With these vehicles, American Honda is addressing its goals of cleaner air, energy diversity and energy security. Nowhere are these goals being better achieved than with the natural gas-powered vehicle Civic GX, which has offered, since 1998, the best available technology for the reduction of petroleum dependence and air pollution. The Civic GX is the cleanest internal combustion vehicle in the world and runs exclusively on natural gas, achieving an Advanced Technology Partial Zero Emission Vehicle certification from the California Air Resources Board and reducing CO2 emissions by 25%. Along with the natural gas Civic GX, American Honda has supported the development and deployment of Phill, a home refueling appliance that will fuel the natural gas Civic GX right in a garage. Phill is certified like any home natural gas appliance and allows convenient, economical access to natural gas fuel. It plugs into a 110-volt outlet, taps into a gas line, pulls the gas from the line, compresses the gas and refuels the vehicle overnight. The Civic GX and Phill have partnered to bring natural gas vehicles to the masses. Please visit us at www.honda.com. |
